1.0 OVERVIEW
1.3 The system has three main parts: a panel-mounted Display Module (DE-3000),
a Power Supply Module (691122-1), and a Terminal Module (691171-1). These
components are interconnected by means of Cable assembly (693115-1). An
additional terminal board may be added for 30 extra channels (691171-2) or 15
extra channels (691175-2). This increases the channel selections from 1-30 to
1-60 or 1-45 respectively.
2.1 The Display Module serves as the user interface for the DE-3000 system. It is in
a 6.5" x 6.5" panel-mounted enclosure and consists of an alphanumeric backlit
LCD display, a 16-key front-mounted keypad, DB-25 D-Sub and DB-9 D-Sub
connectors and five pairs of serial port indicators.
Two DE-3000 models are available and their displays are compatible with each
other, although they have a few functional differences. The ‘classic’ display is
4x20 characters, and the “new” display features 128x64 multi-color graph-
ics. The larger display uses the top line to further annunciate the engine status
“RUNNING, TIMERS ACTIVE, FIRST FAULT,” etc. The home screen, typical of
the 4x20 display, appears at the bottom of the larger display. It also incorpo-
rates a graphing capability which replaces the original bargraph feature. Color
backlighting has been added to the new display. The backlight color changes,
e.g., green for RUNNING, yellow for TIMERS ACTIVE and red for STOP/FAULT
condition, to indicate the status of the machine.
2.2 The keypad is a sealed membrane unit that contains the familiar STOP, RESET
and TEST keys as well as other keys used to navigate through channel status and
description, view process screens, and to edit the configuration.
2.3 The LCD displays a HOME SCREEN that displays a status line, the speed, the
suction pressure and the discharge pressure. Pressing the VIEW CHANNEL key
displays the channel number, its timer status, analog value (if applicable) and
the corresponding 20-character user defined label.

CLASSIC DISPLAY 2.4 The keypad, along with the LCD display, are used to navigate through channel
status and descriptions, view process screens, and to view or edit the system’s
configuration. The ↑UNITS or ↓UNITS or the →TENS or ←TENS keys are used
to access channels by increasing or decreasing the channel numbers by one or
by ten with each key press. Pressing the NEXT key advances the display to the
next screen or item. All menu adjustments are saved in non-volatile EEPROM
memory by pressing the ENTER key. The EEPROM memory retains the current
configuration during normal operation, after compressor shutdown and a system
power-down.
2.5 Five pairs of LED’s are provided on the back of the Display Module for trouble-
shooting purposes, one Receive (RX) and one Transmit (TX) LED for each port.
The TX LED will flash when the Display Module is transmitting serial communi-
cations on the labeled port. The RX LED will flash when the Display Module is
receiving serial communications on the labeled port.

3.0 POWER SUPPLY MODULE
3.1 The Power Supply Module is made to be rail-mounted and is the interface be-
tween the Terminal and Display Modules and to other systems. It typically plugs
directly into the Terminal Module using the DB-25 connectors and is held to-
gether with screws and screw locks.
The standard Output Module outputs use the top row of the dual 16-position
terminal strip which is marked OUT 1 through OUT 4. Each of these outputs
are fused with a replaceable 6.3 amp slow-blow fuse, Altronic P/N 601653.
In addition to accepting industry-standard Output Modules, a custom Altronic
Output Module P/N 691124 is available for tripping ignition powered CD fuel
valves and shorting CD ignition shutdown leads upon a fault. When making use
of OEM Engine Control, outputs 1 and 2 will not be wired to trip the fuel and ig-
nition valves. When both functions are required, two of these modules are used
as follows: OUT 1 slot must be used to trip the fuel valve, and OUT 2 slot must
be used to short the ignition. If 12-24Vdc is lost to the DE-3000 annunciator
system, the custom Output Modules will trip the fuel valve and short the igni-
tion shutdown lead. This mimics the “fail-safe” operation of a normally-closed
Output Module and therefore the LED will be ON in the normal run condition
and OFF for a fault condition. In programming the system, these modules are
identified by using the IGN/FUEL selection. Terminals IGN+ and IGN− are used
to connect the shutdown lead, and FV1 and FV2 are used for the CD fuel valve.
A capacitor is included in the Power Supply Module to supply the energy to trip
the fuel valve.
3.3 The 12-24Vdc power for the DE-3000 system is applied to the power supply
terminals marked (+) and (−) 12–24Vdc INPUT POWER. A 6.3 amp replaceable
slow-blow fuse protects the system from over-currents, and a power LED lights
when power is applied to the system.

3.4 The external connection for the two serial RS-485 communication ports is on
the Power Supply Module terminal strips. Port 2 is for RS-485 serial communi-
cation to future Altronic instruments, and port 3 is for RS-485 serial communi-
cation to a PC (personal computer) or a PLC (programmable logic controller) to
perform remote monitoring or control functions if desired.
3.5 Terminals marked IGN IN and PU IN are used by the DE-3000 system to detect
either engine rotation or ignition system firings. This input monitors changing
signals such as those Seen on either the ignition shutdown lead or a magnetic
pickup monitoring an engine mounted gear.
4.3 Another terminal board assembly may be added to increase the inputs from 30
to either 45 or 60 inputs. Use cable 693133-1 to connect the two boards. The
691175-2 provides an additional 15 inputs, 4 digital outputs, 2 analog outputs
and an extra speed (pickup) input. The 691171-2 provides an additional 30
inputs, 8 digital outputs, 2 analog outputs, and an extra speed (pickup) input.

housing with a 5/8"-18 UNF threaded body, and a Packard Electric Metri-Pack
connector. During configuration the standard calibration for the 691202/203-300
sensor is selected as dEG1 and the standard calibration for the 691212/213-450 is
selected by choosing dEG2. The three wires from the transducer are: +5 volt excita-
tion, temperature output voltage, and minus return. These wires connect directly to
the Terminal Module using cable assembly P/N 693008-x.
4.10 For each input, the corresponding CHANNEL SWITCH must be set according
to the input type. Switches are turned ON by moving them toward the ANALOG
OUT labeling.
4.11 Digital outputs 1 through 8 are pilot-duty, and turn on to common ground when
closed. Outputs 1 through 8 are rated at 500mA, 60V. See FIG. 8 for wiring details.

accuracy, the tip of the probe should be surrounded by the measured media.
This is the return path for normally-open sensors and MUST be connected for
proper operation. DO NOT ground this device directly to the ignition system
common coil ground.
• Normally-open (N/O) sensor switches are wired with one wire to the
bottom terminal strip of the respective sensor number and the other to
engine ground which should be the same as power minus (−). A short
jumper from the bottom terminal to the top terminal must be connected
for normally-open sensors. (See wiring diagrams)
• Normally-closed (N/C) sensor switches are wired with one wire to the bot-
tom terminal strip and the other to the top terminal strip of the respective
sensor number. Note that the short jumper wire must be removed.
• Remote stop and remote reset are wired the same as the sensor
switches, and can be used with either normally-open or normally-closed
contacts.
Use a wire size between 16 AWG (max.) and 24 AWG (min.) to connect the sen-
sor switches to the terminal strip connector. Strip the insulation back 3/8"; twist
the exposed wires tightly together. Insert the exposed wire completely into the
terminal strip and securely tighten the clamping screw. Wires running to sensor
switches must be in good condition or replaced with new wires. When running
wires, take care not to damage the insulation and take precautions against later
damage from vibration, abrasion, or liquids in conduits. An explosion-proof con-
duit is not required. However; wires should be protected from damage by run-

9.0 UNDERSTANDING THE HOME SCREENS
9.1 The home screens are a series of screens used to display several of the most
critical operating parameters. All of the home screens provide a status word on
the upper line and, typically, the engine speed on the second line, the suction
pressure on the third line, and the discharge pressure on the fourth line. Other
analog parameters may be programmed for the second, third and fourth lines.
The status line will read one of the following: TIMERS ACTIVE, RUNNING, TEST
XXX SEC, FAULT AL12, MANUAL STOP, AUTO START.
The LCD display always reverts to one of the home screens after a keypad opera-
tion is completed or the operation times out.
9.2 To manually start the engine, press the RESET button. The TIMERS ACTIVE
message will be displayed and remains until all Class B and Class C inputs have
been armed. During the time that the Class B and Class C timers are still active,
manually purge and crank the engine.
9.3 If the AUTO START option is selected when programming the system from the PC,
the display below will appear when the AUTO START sequence begins. The auto
start sequence allows for activation of an electrically controlled pre-lube pump for a
programmed time period prior to cranking. It is recommended that a warning horn or
flashing light be activated by the pre-lube output to inform any personnel which may
be present that a cranking attempt is about to begin. After this user programmed time
delay, cranking will begin. A user-programmable crank disconnect speed switch func-
tion will automatically disable the starter at the selected RPM. If the crank disconnect
RPM is not reached within a user programmed time period, and Multi-Start has not
been enabled, an OVERCRANK FAULT will be generated turning off the fuel and igni-
tion and disabling the starter until a new AUTO START command is received.

If Multi-Start has been enabled, the DE-3000 will automatically attempt an-
other AUTO START sequence if the crank disconnect RPM is not met within the
user-defined time. Once the AUTO START sequence has failed, a delay timer will
begin counting down before the system starts up again. During this delay time,
the display will flash red and yellow and state “RESTART PENDING-XXXs”, with
“XXX” being the time left before restart. Multi-Start can be configured for up to
4 start attempts (or a restart after 3 failed attempts).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID INJURY
OR MALFUNCTION.
9.4 If the OEM ENGINE CONTROL option is chosen when programming the DE-
3000, the same AUTO START screen shown in section 9.3 will be displayed
when the sequence is initiated. OEM engine control signals Driven Equipment
Ready (DER), starts the Crank/Multi-Start disconnect timer, and activates a
pre-lube pump when the sequence begins. If the Crank/Multi-Start disconnect
speed is not met within its allotted time, an OVERCRANK FAULT is issued by
the DE. The pre-lube will turn OFF after a programmed disconnect speed is
reached. If the pre-lube disconnect speed is not reached in a given amount of
time, a PRELUBE FAULT will be generated. The start signal and auxiliary mod-
ule will turn ON after a specified amount of time. The start signal will remain
ON between 1-5 seconds, or during the entire running time of the DE. When a
manual stop or fault occurs, the DER signals OFF and the post-lube, start signal
(if still ON) and auxiliary module remain ON for an individually programmed
amount of time before turning OFF.
If Multi-Start has been enabled, the DE-3000 will automatically attempt an-
other OEM ENGINE CONTROL sequence if the Crank/Multi-Start disconnect
RPM is not met within the user-defined time. Just like the Multi-Start for AUTO
START, once the sequence has failed, the display will flash a delay timer will
begin counting down before the system starts up again. Multi-Start can be con-
figured for up to 4 start attempts (or a restart after 3 failed attempts).
9.5 After all Class B and Class C points have timed out and are being monitored,
and if no faults are detected, the home screen will show the RUNNING message.
This is the screen that will remain under normal operation.

9.6 Whenever a programmed servicemeter interval has expired, a * character will be
displayed at the end of the STATUS word on the top line of the HOME screen.
Digital control output #7 will turn ON when any service meter interval has ex-
pired. This output can be used to trigger a horn or light or to initiate a service
call. The servicemeter will show the hours remaining until a scheduled service
function is required. When a service function is overdue, the hours left will
display 0. To access the servicemeter messages, press the Menu key from the

The second control loop, CONTROL LOOP #2, is accessed by pressing the NEXT
key twice from the HOME screen. This second loop can be set as a second in-
dependent PID loop (like LOOP #1), a CASCADE RPM controller, or a LINEAR/
RAMP controller. If used for a second PID loop, the control is based on the analog
input of Channel 02. In addition to controlling the 4-20mA output, based upon
the channel 02 analog voltage, a closed loop control of the input frequency being
measured by the RPM input Channel S01 is also possible. The selection of which
channel acts as the control input is made when programming the unit from the
PC Terminal program. In order to change the tuning values for LOOP #2 from the
LOOP #2 screen, the same key sequence as for LOOP #1 is used.

Pressing NEXT again will reveal any further terminal board PID screens following
the same protocol for viewing, modifying and saving PID information. For CAS-
CADE RPM control and LINEAR/RAMP control, the control screens allow the
user to view the input and output values. In order to change the control strategy
for LINEAR/RAMP control, see section 15.6.
9.8 In addition to the two 4-20mA analog control loop outputs, the DE-3000 offers
a pulsed digital output control option on Digital outputs #1 and #2 for use with
solenoid valves or motor valves. This option is referred to as PULSE CONTROL
and allows for closed loop control of the variable measured by the analog voltage
measured by input channel 03. The pulse control is attached to channel 03,
allowing for three independent control loops. When PULSE CONTROL is used,
Digital output #1 is used to open a valve or to increase the output when it is ON.
Digital output #2 is used to close a valve or decrease the output when it is turned
ON. A decision of which output to activate and for how long is made once per
cycle. A maximum ON time limit is selected when programming the unit from
the PC Terminal Program. To change the control variables for PULSE OUTPUTS,
select EDIT CONTROL VALUES from main menu and press the ENTER key. The
edit control values menu is shown. Next, select EDIT CONTROLS. From the EDIT

16.1 The DE-3000 controller system “stamps” the time and date occurrence of the
first fault. To view the time and date of the first fault, press the F2 key after a
fault occurs but before reset is initiated. The time and date of the first fault will
be displayed. If no key is pressed for 10 seconds, the display will revert to the
first fault screen. Press the ESC key to return to the current home screen.

18.5 The DE-3000 system uses a simple ASCII command to read the data collected.
The ASCII command must be transmitted to the controller by the PC or PLC
before it can respond. The command is shown below. The hexadecimal values
for the characters are shown only for those using low level (assembly language)
decoding and will not appear on the communications terminal screen.
ASCII >(01 DL 001)
HEX 3Eh 28h 30h 32h 20h 44h 4Ch 20h 30h 30h 32h 29h
COMMAND HEADER “>” (3Eh) The command must begin with the command
header.
START OF TEXT “(“ (28h) The start of text character must be next.
NODE NUMBER 01–99 The node number or address of the controller being contact-
ed is next. This number is programmed by the terminal program and can be viewed
or edited in the menu screen. A two digit number from 01 to 99 can be used.
SPACE (20h) Following the node number is an ASCII space character (not print-
able, value 20h) to act as a delimiter between the node number and the two char-
acter command word.
COMMAND WORD “DL” (44h, 4Ch) The command is an upper case DL for data log.
SPACE (20h) A space again is used as a delimiter.
RECORD NUMBER 001–100 The record number is the requested record. This num-
ber can be any number from 001 to 100. Record number 001 always contains the
most recent record, 002 the second most recent and so on. The controller holds a
maximum of 100 records in its memory before overwriting the oldest record.
END OF TEXT “)” (29h) The end of text completes the message.

18.7 If it is desired to read more than one record, the read command can be sent in
succession with a different record number. The time between read commands
should be one second or longer.
18.8 The first fault data log record can be read remotely if a current fault exists in the
controller. Send the following ASCII command for the first fault data log:
>(01 DL 999)
01 is the node number and should match the controller. 999 is where the cur-
rent first fault is located. If this command is sent with no faults on the controller,
it will respond with NO DATA AVAILABLE.
18.9 The most current data can be read remotely by sending the following ASCII com-
mand:
>(01 DL 000)
18.10 The DE-3000 system can be reset or stopped remotely by sending a serial com-
mand string.
18.11 The DE-3000 is compliant to the Modicon Modbus RTU standard. The DE-3000
only supports register reads; data is duplicated for the 30000’s and 40000’s
address range. Maximum number of registers that can be read at one time has
been limited to 32.

19.0 AUTOMATIC CALL OUT USING AN EXTERNAL MODEM
19.1 The DE-3000 controller system can perform an automatic call out upon a fault
condition. When a fault occurs, the system will dial up to four preprogrammed
phone numbers stored in an external modem, negotiate communications and
send the first fault data log report message (the 999 command) to the Altronic
monitor program on a PC or to a customer supplied device.
19.2 An external modem of 9600 baud or greater, along with a null modem cable
or adapter connected to the RS-232 port on the controller, is used for remote
modem communications.

• Use modem profile 0 (&Y0)
For more information on configuring the modem, see section 30.10. Please
refer to the modem’s user guide and reference manual.
19.4 Upon a fault, the controller sends the dial string to dial the first stored phone
number in the modem (ATDTS0). If communications are established, the first
fault data log report message is sent. After the first fault message is sent, a
pause of about ten seconds occurs allowing for time to request other data logs.
After ten seconds of no activity, the controller causes the modem to go offline.
The first fault data log is then available on the remote PC for customer use. If
more than one phone number is programmed in the modem, the controller will
attempt to dial each number until all numbers have been successfully negotiat-
ed. If the first stored phone number in the modem is not available, the controller
will immediately dial the second stored phone number. After attempting to dial
all of the programmed phone numbers and if any of them were not answered, a
pause of 10 minutes will occur.
After the 10 minute wait period for the line to clear, the controller will send the dial
string for the unanswered stored phone numbers. This sequence will occur twenty
times or until it gets a connect signal for each programmed phone number. If all
faults are cleared by initiating a reset, the controller will cease dialing out.

20.0 ALARM FUNCTION
20.1 OVERVIEW
The alarm function may occur on any of the analog or digital input channels. The
channel is typically a point of concern, but not for safety protection. This allows
the user to take action, while still allowing the engine to run.
20.2 FUNCTION
The status of an alarm condition may be viewed from the VIEW CHANNELS
MODE. When a channel is in the alarm condition, the channel will display the
ALARMED message and output #6 on the terminal board will turn on. This may
be connected to a horn or a light. Press the F2 key on the ALARMED channel to
silence the alarm (output #6).
20.3 In the following example the high control setpoint for channel 12 is set for 25.0 PSIG

STATE 1: BEGIN AUTO START SEQUENCE TIMED DELAY PERIOD
When the auto start command is received, the first action taken is to create
an internal system reset which clears the previously set fault flags and resets
the PRE-LUBE (Timer 1) and DELAY BEFORE CRANKING (Timer 2) timers to
a count of zero. This is system STATE 1. The PRE-LUBE and DELAY BEFORE
CRANKING timers will both begin counting at this time, but they each have an
independently set value so that the PRE-LUBE pump can be set to run prior to
the cranking only or thru the cranking cycle or until some point in time after the
engine starts. If an optional pressure setpoint is going to be used to terminate
the PRE-LUBE operation, this can be done by using a secondary control setpoint
on oil pressure assigned to one of the discrete control outputs. In system STATE
1, while these timers are running, all class A setpoints are being monitored and
if any of these monitored points fault, the auto start sequence will be terminated
and the cause of the fault displayed, returning the unit to system STATE 0 on the
sequence chart. If no faults are present during system STATE 1, the DELAY BE-
FORE CRANKING timer continues to count until the selected value is reached.
In system STATE 1 of the sequence the system turns on the power supply OUT-
PUT #4, the PRE-LUBE output. This allows for the activation of an electrically
controlled pre-lube pump for a programmed time period of 0 to 999 seconds
prior to and/or during cranking. The use of an appropriate warning device which
can be used to alert any personnel near the engine of the forthcoming start
attempt is strongly recommended. This warning device (flashing lights or horn)
can be activated by the PRE-LUBE output directly or thru the use of auxiliary
relay contacts.
DE-3000 OI 5-20
All rights reserved © ALTRONIC, LLC 2020 46
STATE 7: ENGINE RUNNING UNLOADED WARMUP
After the engine has started and the cranking device is turned off (system STATE 7
on the sequence chart), the 4-20mA RPM control output to the governor will be at
the IDLE speed value. The RPM control output will stay at the IDLE value until a user-
programmed delay of 0 to 999 minutes as set by the WARM-UP TIMER is completed.
24.1 OEM ENGINE CONTROL can be used as an engine start-up in applications where
the DE-3000 is used to signal instructions to a controller, rather than directly
turning on and off fuel and ignition as is done in AUTO START. To use the OEM
ENGINE CONTROL option, select and configure it in the PC terminal program
under the Program Global Variables screen. The four output modules on the
power supply board should be configured as follows for OEM ENGINE CONTROL:
Out 1 for Driven Equipment Ready (DER), Out 2 for Start/Run Signal, Out 3
Auxiliary if necessary, Out 4 for Pre/Post Lube. OEM ENGINE CONTROL begins
its sequence when an auto start command is sent to the DE-3000. The various
programmable timers for each module on the power supply board output are
shown below.
– OR – ON Time
(1-5 s)
DE-3000 OI 5-20
All rights reserved © ALTRONIC, LLC 2020 47
24.2 The OEM ENGINE CONTROL sequence must begin from an engine stopped
condition. When a DE has been configured for OEM ENGINE CONTROL and an
auto start is signaled by grounding the ‘R’ terminal on the terminal board, Lube
turns ON, the Crank/Multi-Start disconnect timer starts, and the ‘Delay before
ON’ timers for the Start/Run Signal and the Auxiliary output begin counting
down. DER remains ON from the time the auto start signal is sent to the DE-
3000 until a manual stop or fault occurs. All class A setpoints are monitored
and class B and C timers begin once the auto start signal is received.
24.3 Once the engine speed has surpassed a specified RPM, the Lube will turn OFF.
This Pre Lube Disconnect must occur before the Pre Lube time expires. If it
does not, a PRELUBE FAULT will occur and all four outputs will turn OFF and
the sequence will terminate.
24.4 The engine speed must also reach a speed above the Crank/Multi-Start discon-
nect RPM before its corresponding timer expires. If it does not, an OVERCRANK
FAULT will be generated and all outputs will turn OFF. If the DE-3000 is set up
for Multi-Start, then a delay timer will begin counting down before another start
attempt is automatically triggered. Pressing any button on the display during
the time between start attempts will cancel Multi-Start, and the DE-3000 will
remain in a Stop/Fault mode until it is manually restarted.
24.5 The Auxiliary and Start/Run Signal turn ON once their corresponding ‘Delay be-
fore ON’ timers expire. The Auxiliary output will remain on for the entirety of the
DE’s run time, but the Start/Run Signal can be programmed to turn OFF after
1-5 seconds, or just remain ON during the DE’s run time.
24.6 When a manual stop or fault occurs, DER turns OFF and Lube turns ON. The
Auxiliary and Start/Run Signal (if still ON) remain ON after a stop or fault for
their respective ‘Hold after Stop’ times and then turn OFF. Lube turns OFF after
its programmed Post Lube time.
25.1 The control strategy best suited to a particular application varies widely. The fol-
lowing information is offered as a set of general guidelines and definitions. Each
application should be evaluated by qualified personnel familiar with the actual
operating conditions.
25.3 The RPM control of the engine can be done using one of the analog control out-
puts of the DE-3000 as a 4-20mA current loop which can be connected directly
to an electronic governor. If a governor requiring a pneumatic setpoint (3-15psi)
is used then the 4-20mA output is connected to an appropriate I/P transducer.
25.4 The CAPACITY control output of the DE-3000 is available in two formats, to
drive the most common actuating systems. The first output format is an indus-
try-standard 4-20mA current loop used for continuously adjustable (sometimes
referred to as linear) control. The 4-20mA. output would typically be used to
interface to a pneumatically controlled bypass valve. A second set of capacity
control outputs is brought out of the controller in a digital format (discrete tran-
sistors). The digital or discrete outputs consist of two transistors which switch
on to ground and are designed to drive relay coils or pilot duty solenoid valves.
One switch is labeled DIGITAL OUT 1 and energizes to LOAD the compressor
the other is labeled DIGITAL OUT 2 and energizes to UNLOAD the compressor.

ased turn valve, or slide valve, the 4-20mA. CAPACITY output can be connected
to an appropriate I/P transducer which then connects via tubing to the actuator
in order to move the valve
The second set of capacity control outputs is brought out of the controller in
a digital format (discrete transistors). The digital or discrete outputs consist of
two transistors which switch on to ground and are designed to drive relay coils or
pilot duty solenoid valves. One switch is labeled DIGITAL OUT 1 and energizes
to LOAD the compressor the other is labeled DIGITAL OUT 2 and energizes to
UNLOAD the compressor. When used with the hydraulically positioned slide
valve on a screw compressor application, these outputs are typically connected
to a three-way solenoid valve. On reciprocating compressors, the digital outputs
can be used to actuate a motor controlled bypass valve via relay contacts which
energize the motor to move in the open or close directions.
25.5 The PRIMARY control input should be selected on the basis of the prevailing operat-
ing conditions at the compressor site as well as considerations of loading fluctua-
tions, etc. Some basic approaches to compressor load control are listed below:
25.6 When programming the DE-3000 system, the basic relationship of the Primary
Control Inputs (A1, A2, S1), Primary Control Outputs (AO1 and AO2), and Out-
put Actuators needs to be defined.
The relationship between a Primary Control Input and Primary Control Output is
defined as either direct or inverse acting. direct acting means that to increase
the value of the Primary Control Input, the throughput of the compressor is in-
creased. Inverse acting means that to increase the value of the Primary Control
Input, the compressor load must be decreased. In the examples of common
control approaches given; discharge pressure and engine manifold pressure or
motor amps are direct acting. Suction pressure is an example of a control pa-
rameter that is inverse acting. In order to increase suction pressure the com-
pressor throughput must be reduced.
25.7 The secondary control setpoint options have been modified to add more flex-
ibility as detailed below.
• INHIBIT AN OUTPUT INCREASE
The output of one or more of the control loops can be limited in the increasing
direction only, while allowing the assigned out-put to freely decrease.
DE-3000 OI 5-20
All rights reserved © ALTRONIC, LLC 2020 49
• INHIBIT AN OUTPUT DECREASE
The output of one or more of the control loops can be limited in the decreasing
direction only, while allowing the assigned output to freely increase.
• FORCE AN OUTPUT INCREASE
The output of one or more of the control loops can be forced to increase even
if the primary control loop requires a different action.
• FORCE AN OUTPUT DECREASE
The output of one or more of the control loops can be forced to decrease even
if the primary control loop requires a different action.
In addition to these actions being assignable to the analog inputs, they are also
assignable to the analog outputs (AO1, AO2). This allows for the output of one
control loop to interact with the other according to a programmed priority. For
example, the output of loop #2 can be inhibited until a certain output value of
Loop #1 is reached.
In addition to defining the input/output relationship, the relationship of the con-
trol output value to the actuator must also be defined as either direct or inverse
acting. As in the case of the control input/output relationship, the direct act-
ing output mechanism is one where an increase in current from the controller
causes an increase in load on the compressor. An inverse operating actuator is
one where the current is decreased to increase the load on the compressor.

30.2 INSTALLATION
The program can be downloaded from Altronic’s website at http://www.altronic-
llc.com/catalog-downloads.shtml. A minimum of 32MB of free disk space is
required. Additional disk space will be required if the remote datalog database
function is used. The space required will be dependent on the size of the work-
ing database.
When the program first runs, you must input a user name along with the
selection of the PC serial or USB port to which the DE-3000 will connect
for programming. All screens have a status bar at the bottom that will let the
user know the current status of each operation. Version information along with
general Help can be found under the Help menu. At the login screen, if you are
not connected to the DE-3000, or the firmware date on the DE-3000 could
not be determined, you must select version 1.X or version 2.X of the terminal
program. Version 1.X corresponds to .pg6/tr6 configuration files, and version
2.X corresponds to .pg7/tr7 configuration files.
